Follow these steps to prepare the Ginger Garlic Chicken Thigh Bake:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine minced ginger, garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, honey, rice vinegar, black pepper, salt, and red chili flakes.
3. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Make sure they are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 1 hour in the fridge for deeper flavor.
4. Arrange Chicken in Baking Dish: Transfer the marinated chicken thighs to a large baking dish, skin-side up, and drizzle any remaining marinade over the top.
5. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C).
6. Baste Occasionally: Halfway through baking, baste the chicken thighs with the juices in the baking dish.
7. Finish Baking: If the chicken skin isn’t crispy, you can broil it for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end of cooking, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.
8. Rest: Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
9. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and serve with lime wedges on the side.

Following these simple steps will guide you toward creating a deliciously comforting meal that’s sure to impress.
